CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />G. Patrick Gallagher <br />Director, Public Safety <br />TO: Mr. Peter Nemeth <br />President of the Common Council <br />January 23, 1974 <br />Reply To: <br />We are requesting $22,000.00 of Revenue Sharing money to replace <br />a 1953 Seagrave tractor that pulls a 100' tiller, model 5007, <br />serial #C6875. The mechanical condition of this piece of <br />equipment and the fact that no replacement parts are available, <br />has caused a considerable amount of problems with this vehicle. <br />The aerial ladders appear substantial and serviceable for some <br />years but the component parts that operate (hydraulic system), <br />needs some re- working and replacement of seals, etc. <br />We are of the opinion that the entire cost of transfer of 5th <br />wheel equipment and the installation of air brakes to the rear <br />wheels could be done at the above figure of $22,000.00. It <br />would represent substantial savings to the community. A <br />complete new aerial unit would cost approximately $100,000.00. <br />It is my opinion that we could anticipate an additional 10 <br />years of service by replacing the tractor. <br />Very truly yours, it <br />• 'f�� <br />Jack R.
